OK Bunny Cab Sauv it is then, but just the one for me I have still some more work to do today I'm sure if I didn't have a PC it would be nearly all done now, but then I would have to find something else to do :-)

Hello all.
Hilary
You need to have something like Ad-aware 6 to get rid of the data miners and some other dross. It's free to download the personal version and you will be surprised what it will find. It was recommended to me and it is also in use at work where it was installed by our IT pro's. Windows XP update also has a pop-up blocker which works well for me.

Just an add on to my previous. Your firewall will not stop programmes that you allow from installing stuff in your machine. Because it is embedded in the download it will not know it's there. Then when you fire up the programme you have allowed, the data miners and spyware piggyback on the chit chat between you and the target website.

Hello Socs, I use Google for pop ups, comes on screen as a tool bar includes an auto form filling feature as well, that comes in useful. Downloaded free from Google home page.

You mean we'll hoover him up JJ - LOL
Socs - yes, that was what I hoped Hilary realised, when she said she
had a firewall, as I know we got spydeleter (a really horrible thing!)
from either a music or games download and as you say it was within the
programme and ran once it was run on the computer.
Opto - how did you get on with the black bean sauce??

Socs,
Re the Spyware and Adware programmes, there was a thread on the pay-per-view about it ages ago. As I recall, Kayak suggested that a lot of the stuff that these programmes picked up was harmless. I did install it at the time and was inclined to agree.
Unless it is from a source that I know, I won't download anything onto either my trading station or my laptop. This pretty much restricts my downloads to csv data files.
The kazaa is for my 12 year old son's machine. I'm not too bothered about other people looking at his porn stash, but I was concerned that somebody might be able to snoop across the network and look at my machines. That said, my 10 year old daughter is a law unto herself. I daren't even look on her machine for fear of what I might find. Last time I looked, I was confronted by a cursor in the shape of a love heart and attacked by Kat and Alfie dancing across the screen.

Bunny the black bean sauce was just OK, I will have it again but it will never be my favourite. Worth trying.
